Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Warner speedometer, cylindrical bolster tank, hand crank siren, Rushmore acetylene headlights, folded trumpet bulb horn, Gray & Davis kerosene sidelights, no taillight, red lens Rushmore searchlight, dash clock, body color wood spoke wheels, Prest-o-Lite tank.

Condition

Liveried as an LAFD Chiefs fast response vehicle, but no known history before it was acquired by Lindley Bothwell some eight decades ago Dull old paint and brass Sound but aged, stiff and dirty upholstery Road grimy engine, driveline and chassis Sound and complete but done to mediocre museum display standards and in need of complete restoration

Market commentary

This is a rare marque (despite there being two of them in the Bothwell auction) with a big, powerful 4-cylinder engine and it caught the attention of the bidders today, bringing a healthy price.
